2007 Lexus RX400H 3.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · SF07 AXO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2023-05-11 at 100,009 miles showed no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the prior test on 2023-04-25 at 99,988 miles resulted in a fail with no recorded defects, suggesting a possible administrative error or minor non-compliance. The absence of defects in earlier passes (2022-04-13, 2021-05-25) and the lack of recurring issues in the history imply no significant mechanical deterioration. The car’s maintenance pattern appears consistent, though the gap between tests raises questions about regular servicing. The vehicle’s mileage of 100,009 miles at 19 years old equates to approximately 5,264 miles annually, far below the average for its age. This low usage could indicate infrequent driving or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may affect components like the battery, fluids, and rubber seals. Notably, the 2021-05-25 test recorded a fail at the same mileage as a subsequent pass, suggesting potential inconsistency in testing or unresolved minor issues. The sparse defect data limits insight into wear trends, but the lack of structural or safety-related findings is reassuring. A buyer should inspect the vehicle’s suspension for aged bushes or coil springs, as low mileage may mask wear in these areas. Check brake components for corrosion or binding, particularly if the car has been stationary for extended periods. Verify the exhaust system for rust, as older vehicles with low mileage are prone to internal corrosion. Confirm the battery’s condition and test electrical systems for intermittent faults. While the MOT history shows no critical issues, the long interval between tests and low mileage warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to address potential hidden degradation.
